Watch: So Yong Kim Directs a Haunting Short Film for Miu Miu Starring Riley Keough

Korean-born American filmmaker So Yong Kim (whose 2006 feature “In Between Days” won a Jury Prize at Sundance) directs “Spark and Light,” the seventh addition to join Miu Miu’s acclaimed short film series “Women’s Tales.”

The film follows Elizabeth, played by Riley Keough (who starred in “Jack and Diane,” which Kim produced and edited) whose car breaks down in the middle of an Icelandic landscape. Eager to get to her mother, who lies unconscious in a hospital, Elizabeth falls asleep waiting for a tow truck and finds herself in a surreal and bizarre dream, where figures from her memories appear and disappear.

Check out “Spark and Light” below. Other filmmakers who’ve participated in the “Women’s Tales” series include Ava DuVernay and Hiam Abbass.
